VILLAGE OF RUTLAND.
WELLS AND GUTTERS.
Paved gutter on north side of Washington street, about
600 feet, which we think is put in to stay; we also furnished
material on Rovee avenue to Mr. Spaflord, which was put in
at the expense of Mr. Spafford, which likewise is a durable
job.
We have put in a few new wells and repaired quite a
number of old ones.
CRUSHED STONE.
We have distributed about 1,000 yards as below : Wood-
stock avenue, State street, Maple street, Kendall avenue,
Grove street and some other places.
POLICE.
We organized the police force by appointing M. Hussey,
chief of police, and eight other commissioned officers ; three
of the number we appointed regular night watchmen. By the
death of R. R. Mead, which occurred in August last, we lost
one of the u night force.”
For a detailed report of the work of the police we refer
you to the report of the chief of police published in another
place and do agree with his recommendation for the future.
TOWN CLOCK.
During the past year the Town Clock has been under
the efficient care of Mr. A. J. Cutting, and we believe he has
given good satisfaction.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Our Fire Department is in good condition, and is a
model of volunteer service, for which we owe much credit to
our Chief Engineer.
We added four more of the improved boxes to the Fire
Alarm System, and now consider it in good condition.

We also purchased six spray nozzles.
The cost of maintaining the department the last year has

} Your trustees announce the fact that the long controversy
with the .Rutland Electric Light Co. has been satisfactorily >
settled and all claims against the village paid at a reduction of ! *
nearly two thousand dollars for the last two years’ bills for 1
lighting the streets ; the Electric Light Co. withdrawing all \
claims to a further contract with the village after March 1st
the present year. From time of settlement to March 1st,
when terms of contract expired, the village w 7 as paying at the ?
rate of $6,500 per year. There are now two electric light I
companies in this village, and a fair prospect for negotiations {
with one of them at greatly reduced rates, which will be !
appreciated by the taxpayers. J

1 Commissioners
Rutland, March 10, 1890.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
To the President and Board of Trustees :
I hand you herewith my report of the business of the
Municipal Court since April 1st, last. Financially the vil¬
lage tax-payers may be little interested in the result, as there
have been no cases before the court in which the rights of the
Tillage have been involved.
No eases have been brought to the attention of the court
for violation of any of the village by-laws, or ordinances.
The volume of business in this court is steadily increas¬
ing, and must continue to increase as its advantages are better
understood and the business of the town expands.
Between 90 and 100 civil causes have been entered and
disposed of during the year. Twenty-six contested causes
have been heard by the court, by full trial. Eight causes
have been tried by jury, while the criminal cases disposed
of largely exceed in number the civil cases.
Three prisoners in the House of Correction have been
brought before the court, upon information filed by the State’s
Attorney, and sentenced to the State prison at Windsor for
terms of four, five and eight years respectively, and as many
more have been sentenced to the House of Correction for
shorter terms of imprisonment. Many other criminal cases
for minor offences, such as breach of the peace, cruelty to
animals, keeping unlicensed dogs, violation of the liquor law,
and other like offences, have been disposed of by the court.
The business of the court has been transacted in the vii-
| lage hall> but this hall is entirely unsuitable and unfit for the
I transaction of any court business. It is impossible to so con-
54
VILLAGE OF UUTLANI>,
duct the most important business of the court as to acfcom- j
plish the best results, without the necessary facilities. The
need of a respectable court room, clerk’s office, and I may add
police-head quarters, cannot, I believe, be too strongly urged.
A suitable and convenient place for the transaction of the im¬
portant and rapidly increasing business of the court is of great
importance, and would prove a direct benefit to every eitizen,
to say nothing of the needs and requirements of the large
number of jurors, officers, parties and witnesses who are com¬
pelled to attend and transact business therein. At the proper
time, I hope some action may be taken by the village looking
to that end.
Some slight changes in the jurisdiction of the court would
be of great benefit to this village, and town.
Respectfully submitted,
F. M. BUTLER, Judge.

I
Report of the Chief of Police. j
To the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Putland :
In compliance with your request, I hereby submit the
annual report of the Police Department.
The police force of the village now consists of eight com¬
missioned officers, of whom six are special policemen and two
are assigned for regular night duty. The number of regular
officers has been diminished by one-half in the past two years,
and I would respectfully recommend the appointment of one
or two regular officers for night duty in addition to the
present number. It can hardly be expected that two officers
can furnish a village as large as Rutland with proper police
protection.
The arrests made by your officers during the year ending
March 1, 1890, are as follows:
For intoxication. 52
(C selling liquor. 40
“ keeping liquor with intent, etc. 84
“ furnishing liquor... 22
u breach of the peace . 24
“ larceny .. 6
K tramps (committed) to H. C. 12
<c lewdness .. 4
a assault on officer... 1
In addition to the above your officers have furnished
lodgings to thirty-four poor persons and found and cared for
four lost children. They have found the doors of stores
unlocked during the night time on eight occasions and have
cared for the same.
A few disturbances have been qnelhd without making any
arrests.
Very respectfully,
M. HUSSEY,
Chief of Police.
IN MEMORIAM.
We have to mourn a comrade dead—one who had been a living- and
vital force in the Rutland Fire Department, and a citizen who had also sus¬
tained other and responsible trusts in the community. All too soon was
this young manhood life extinguished ; ere its noon came, the battle with
the elements of disease began and death became the conqueror.
William F. Eddy, First Assistant Engineer, died after months of weak¬
ness and decline, accompanying consumption, on Sept. 17, 1889. carrying
the sincerest regret of those who had long been his associates in the many
relations of a fireman's Jife.
No one was more widely known, more popular, or more generally es¬
teemed, for the geniality of Ills nature, and the warmth of his friendship.
His relations to the department brought him in contact with all classes of
the community, and afforded all an opportunity to know him.
Ills connection with the Fire Department began at an early age in one
way and another until by constant, faithful, fearless service, lie had nearly
reached the top round of the ladder in his official relations to it
He was a charter member of the J. W. Cramton, Hose Co., and filled
many positions in said company. He was elected foreman in 1880, the
position he held until elected Second Assistant Engineer in 1888, and First
Assistant Engineer in 1885, which position lie held at his death.
Ills active interest in all that pertained to the Rutland Fire Department,
and the just pride he enjoyed in seeing it stand in the front rank with simi¬
lar associations in Vermont and abroad, made his several promotions
deserved from bis associates and the people, all of which be received by
the large popular voice of his fellow citizens who had been witnesses of bis
labor and devotion. In 1883 lie was elected trustee of the third ward, in the
municipal board of the village government, serving with credit to himself,
usefulness to bis fellow members, and met the approval of his innumerable
constituents.
In the loss of an individual so long and prominently a factor in the
department which so zealously and activly watched as guardians, and so
readily and promptly responded to the call of duty in the protection of life
and property, it is but due to his memory that this public appreciation
and acknowledgment of his services should here have a record.
K. K, HANNUM, Chief Engineer.
E. J. BRUTEN, Assistant Engineer,
Chief Engineer’s Report.

Box 53, Central Vermont R, R. Co.’s engine house;
no damage.
The department has been called and rendered assistance on three occa¬
sions outside tlie village limits as follows: Ripley Sons’ marble mills, J. B,
Needham’s house and W. D. Lane's hot house.
Your apparatus for extinguishing fires consists of one hand engine,
built by Cowing & Co , with hose cart ; one second class steam fire engine
built by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Co., with hose cart; one hook and
ladder truck, with ladders, hooks, etc. ; five hose companies as follows : J.
W. Craraton Hose Co. No. 4, H. H. Baxter Hose Co, No, 5, J. A. Sheldon
Hose Co. No. 6, J, D. Hanralian Hose Co. No. 7, J. B. Reynolds Hose -Co.
No. 8, All the companies are fully manned and are commanded by efficient
officers.
The Gamewell fire-alarm system consists of 6 miles of wire, 16 alarm
boxes, 8 of the non-interference pattern and 8 of the old style, one bell
striker located in tlie tower of the Congregational church, 1 indicator and
gong, located at the Central Vermont Railroad machine shop, 1 indicator
and gong located at thejFIovre Scale Company's shop, three engineers gongs,
six hose house gongs. The batteries, etc., are located at the Telephone
Company’s central office.
Your department and fire alarm system is in first class shape. The fire
alarm wire has been removed from buildings and placed on poles of tlie
Marble City and Rutland Electric Light companies. Tlie supply of hose
is good. Four of the old style of alarm boxes have been exchanged for four
of tlie non interference pattern, making eight in all, of the new style in the j
circuit. I would recommend the exchange of more of the old ones for this
style of box.
n
CHIEF ENGINEER’S REPORT.
59
In regard to the chemical engine I must say that I have given it a very
thorough trial and I do not consider it a good piece of* fire apparatus, and
also consider it an unnecessary expense to the village.
I would recommend that there should be some law enacted in regard to
fire alarm wire. There seems to be difference in opinion in regard to the
right of way,
I herewith present a statement of the village property in the charge of
each company, the location of hydrants, also location of the fire alarm
boxes, and keys thereto, and a list of officers and members of each company.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to the honorable board of
trustees for their kind and courteous attention. To the officers and members
of the department, for the prompt and efficient manner in performance of
all their duties I wish to bear evidence of their faithfulness.

Village Attorney’s Report
Village of -Rutland, )
Attorney’s Office, March 5, 189*'. )
To the Taxpayers of the Village of Rutland :
T submit the following report as to legal matters in which
the village lias been concerned during the last fiscal year.
At the commencement of my duties as Village Attorney
there were pending in Rutland County Court the cases of
Charles E. Bates and wife v. the Village, and
Charles E. Bates v. the Village.
With these cases you are familiar from the report of my
predecessor. They grow out oE an injury received in the
vicinity of the stone crusher, while it was in operation. The
first of these eases was tried at the September Term last, and
resulted in a verdict of $2,500 against the village. Upon
exceptions it was taken to the Supreme Court, and there heard
at the last term. It has not yet been decided, but is “ with the
Court,” and a decision may be rendered any day. The second
of the above cases is set for the jury at the present term, hut
will probably not be tried. The decision of the case in the
Supreme Court will naturally determine both cases. Having
assisted the plaintiff at a former term I took no part in these
trials.
During my term of office, except actions in which the
Village has been summoned as trustee, two actions have been
brought against the village, viz :
1. Rutland Electric Co. v. the Village.
2. John A. Sheldon v. the Village.
TILLAGE ATTORNEY' S REPORT,
69
The report of my predecessor states that u a suit will
probably be instituted by the Light Company to determine its
rights,” The company had been paid nothing for lighting the
streets the previous year, and had been notified that unless it
negotiated a contract for so doing, the village would bo under
no liability. The present board pursued the same course,
determined to contest the liability of the village, unless a com,
promise could be made that would be of at least equal benefit
to the village. Negotiations were pending several months.
The company brought suit thirty days, before the September
Term last, and the same was discontinued without costs by
written agreement on the 29th day of August, 1889.
This matter will probably be further noticed in the report
of the trustees. By the settlement quite a large amount was
deducted from the claim, and the village released from the five
years contract. This result will, I think, commend itself to
the taxpayers, as an act of good judgment on the part of your
Board of Trustees.
The other case grows out of a claim of the plaintiff, that
the sewer extending across Main street, from Terrill to West
street, is of too small capacity to carry the water and sewage
flowing in it, and that by reason of its small capacity the water
and sewage in the sewer that passes his house is a dammed j
up,” so to speak, and sets back into his cellar. This cause
will be entered at the coming March term.
There have been some cases in which the village has been
summoned as trustee, but no matters of special interest have
been developed from them, and it is unnecessary to make
special mention of them.
The last year lias been one of active work, and 1ms necessarily
involved constantly legal questions of interest. The sidewalks
this year have been built upon the plan of having the abutters
sign a written memorandum, agreeing to pay half the expense.
70
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND,
This plan has been found to bring good results. The charter
is meager in its provisions in this regard, and doubtless the
next Legislature will afford' relief in this and other matters in
which relief is especially needed. Several interesting ques¬
tions have arisen as to the lights and duties of the Horse Rail¬
way Company, but it should be said to the credit of the presi¬
dent of that corporation, that lie has shown a disposition in
every case to do what ought to be done, without compelling
the village to resort tolegal measures. The title of the village
to the right of taking stone from the Engrem ledge has been
confirmed, by which at a small expense the village becomes the
owner of a valuable property. Questions have arisen with
reference to the building of sewers, the abatement of taxes
and other subjects too numerous to be mentioned, all of which
have been settled without expense to the village.
All these matters will more fully appear in the report of
your trustees, which will demonstrate, I think, not only that
the drain upon the treasury from lawsuits lias been moderate,
but also that a correct management of business affairs demands
compromise frequently rather than litigation. And indeed at
this day when u life is too short” to await the result of “ the
law’s delay,” it may be an open question, whether more is won
by litigation than by successful compromise.
P. R. KENDALL.
Village Attorney.

F£EP0I^7B OF IPHE F^EftLiPH OFFICER.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the Village of
Rutland r
Last April, when I assumed the office of health officer. I
found that my predecessor had done good work as the first
incumbent of the office, and I found the people as a rule
ready and anxious to help me in keeping the village clean and
thus prevent epidemics of the so-called filth diseases. How¬
ever, the complaints coming to me have been many and varied,
and it has required constant inspection to keep the alleys, back
yards and by-places in a reasonably clean condition.
NUISANCES.
I am unable to make a classified report of nuisances
which I have abated. A large per cent has been garbage, which
is constantly accumulating. Surface privies, which 1 consider
now our greatest evil, pig-pens, sewers and defective drains. All
nuisances 1 have been able to abate without legal measures,
as usually all that was necessary would be a personal or writ¬
ten notice to occupants or owners, and the matter would be
quickly and cheerfully attended to.
PENALTIES.
In the matter -of surface privies it should not be neces¬
sary for tbe health officer to notify anyone to clean their
privy, but 1 would so amend the village ordinance that there
| would be a fine of five dollars for every privy found uneleaned
72
VILLAGE OP RUTLAND.
after May 1st, and so I would attach a penalty to all nuisances,
naming each, existing after a certain date. Now it is neces^
sary to order a nuisance abated and in a few days inspect
again to see if the order has been obeyed. This requires so
much time that no physician has the time needed to do justice
to the office.
plumbing.
I find another great source of disease is defective connec¬
tions with sewers, especially sink drains. Every piece of plumb¬
ing done in the village should be inspected and made to con¬
form to an approved plan before accepted. Many sink drains
now connect directly with the sewer without a trap, thus ven¬
tilating the sewer into living rooms of the house, making
nothing less than a death trap. Jf there were such a system
of inspection plumbers would not be allowed, for instance, to
connect the waste water pipe from the bath tub direct with
the trap of the stool, thus ventilating the traps into the bath
room. This is the ordinary way and exists in many houses in
this town. In this matter the health officer should have more
power.
DISPOSING OF GARBAGE.
I hope the coming summer the board of trustees will pro¬
vide a team during the hot season to remove all refuse, etc.,
from the business portions at least.
SEWERS.
Again, I think‘the health officer should have the authority
to compel all abutters to connect with sewers, where such exist.
Many nuisances exist today breeding disease in the community,
simply because it would cost the owners a few dollars to con¬
nect with the sewer and provide proper water closets. During
the past season some new sewers have been built- and some old
HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT. 73
! ones repaired. Theie still remains much more to be done in
this direction and I think should engage the earnest attention
! of the coming board.
I believe nothing would so conduce to the healthfulness
! of our community, and be a better investment for the village
j than a perfect system of sewerage, even at a large expense.
| There is no reason why we should not have as perfect a system
j of drainage as exists in America. Situated as we are, on a hill,
| with the river at our feet to carry away all drainings, makes it
possible to have a perfect system. I cannot leave the subject
of sewers without referring to the old stone apology for a
sewer which runs in the rear of the blocks on the north side
of Center street, and continues down under the blocks and
Merchants Row. This certainly should be attended to this
j season. I hope whatever new sewers are laid, or old ones
repaired this year, will be done under the directions of a com¬
petent engineer, who will, of course, see to the grade and not
trust to surface grades, and expect drainings to syphon over
ridges as has been done in some cases heretofore. Whatever is
done, let it be permanent.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
From contagious diseases we have been comparatively
| free, and considering the weather during the past year this is
I remarkable. Only fourteen eases of typhoid fever reported
and thirteen cases of diphtheria. Compared with other towns
this is ail exceptionally favorable report. We have had our
share of la grippe, lilt so far as I am informed, no cases have
proved fatal. With the exception of whooping cough, which
is now prevailing in a mild form, we have had no epidemics.

The most fatal diseases, as
shown
b y
these tabl
es,
have
been heart and lung diseases. Following these, peritonitis
and diphtheria. The lowest death rate ocgurs in June, the
number reaching only three, while in .November four deaths
onl}’ occurred. I think we may consider the total number of
deaths (144) small in proportion to the population, and in
view of the fact that the weather, the past year, lias been
very unfavorable to health, regard this as a very good si low¬
ing. Before closing, I would recommend, in case a city char¬
ter is obtained, that a committee of three physicians be
appointed to act in connection with the City Charter Commit¬
tee, in regard to sanitary affairs.
I wish to thank the Board of Trustees, and also the Sani¬
tary Committee for the firm support and encouragement I
have received from them in executing the duties of my office.
Respectfully submitted,
I CHAS. A. GALE, Health Officer.
